silver chain necklace

A look at the Spring/Summer 2008 fashion shows for major designers like Chanel and Givenchy would prove that silver chain necklaces are this season's jewelry must have. It makes sense too, since silver sets off black and brights and even pastels beautifullly.

At Chanel, layers of silver chains are worn around the neck, so much so that most of the model's chest was covered with silver and the look was chic. A little over-the-top, but then again, that's what fashion's about. Drama.

Bring that look to your arsenal but tone that down a little. Several chain necklaces of different lengths, worn layered, would make even last season's blacks up to date. Hey, maybe all you need to get your wardrobe into Spring and Summer 2008 is to invest on several silver necklaces.

Italian made.

It's the way you wear the necklaces that makes the difference. Look at the models at Givenchy. Silver necklaces held crosses, which gave the collection a religious zeal. Then again, the look would suit Buffy. Vampire hunting anyone?

Sick of pastels and candy colors? Black's great this season as it has always been throughout fashion history. Just pair your basic blacks with these stunning silver chains. The more the merrier.
